HERE IS THE EFFIN' THING.

I had it in my head that I hadn't read this fic at all. WHY I HAVE NO IDEA. Then I was talking to Caity and she was like NO READ IT. So I did (because why the hell wasn't I?!) and then I saw and recognized and FELT THE FEELINGS that I had actually started this. So thank god. But I did do a review because jesus christ, everything you write is so god damn perfect and flawless and delicate and beautiful and I can't stand it.

Anyway, so I caught up with the last two parts and let's just say what I said was still absolutely true. The reunion, quiet, beautiful scene with Ben and Leslie was OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD. I seriously look at what you write and think "how is this even possible? How can she bring all of this out so perfectly and make me feel absolutely everything without dumb filler?" You're just this wonderful straight forward, delicately beautiful prose writer and it just is so amazing to read and so UNFAIR to the rest of us.

Anyway, and THIS part? What?! I don't know if you understand how real this shit is. Like, who hasn't had this moment, this realization with someone they love so hard? (I am not as beautiful as you with words so sorry for all the cussing and silliness) but I felt every single movement, face change, hard word, etc, etc, etc. I just was wrapped up in a warmth, scared blanket and my mug of hot feelings was resting in my hands and I just... I just felt so warm and shaky and wonderful. You are a goddess, a talent worth praising and worth looking up to.

Amazing! Brava!

I don't even know what to say...I mean, THANK YOU, obviously, but that's so inadequate because you took the time to write these tremendously kind things and that means such a ridiculous amount to me, you don't even know. It's like, this is a incredible compliment in general, but from someone whose writing I really admire, it's kind of staggering. So yes, THANK YOU, but please know there are a lot of feelings and a bone-crushing hug behind those words.
